Kramer Knives
Imagine being able to have your career be the same as your life's passion. Bob Kramer, the master bladesmith of Kramer Knives does just that everyday as he continually works to hand create the best knife possible. In fact, Kramer believes so much in his work that if you don't like the knife you purchase, he'll buy it back from you. (Now, that's a quality guarantee we can appreciate.) When you cut with Kramer Knives, you'll have more than just a steel blade to slice through your food, you practically have a piece of art. He uses Cocobolo wood for the handles of his knives because he loves how it feels in your hand and how it ages. The secret to his knives though is the steel and extensive heat treatment each piece gets during its creation. Every piece is specially treated one at a time in a seven step process that takes more than six hours to complete. Even though these "Best Ofs" are hand crafted, Kramer Knives still has a wide selection so you can get your kitchen's essentials.
After thorough independent research, we selected the Kramer Knives as a 3LUXE "Best Of", to see our other two Cutlery selections visit our Cutlery Overview.

FEATURES
- Handmade Custom kitchen knives by Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer. 10 years of professional cooking experience, and 15 years of building custom kitchen knives, combined make the finest culinary knives on the planet.
- The default wood is Cocobolo, this a Rosewood which comes from the equatorial zones. This wood is rich in oils and is hard with an interwoven grain all good reasons to be used on a kitchen knife. I can use plastic for the handles which of course is very stable but I love the feel of wood and the way it ages.
- Set includes
- 3.5 Paring knife $300.00
- 5" utility knife $375.00
- 6" Boning knife $375.00
- 8" Chefs Knife $475.00
- 10" Bread knife $500.00
- The secret is in the steel and the extensive heat treatment each piece has to go through. Every piece is heat treated by me one at a time in a seven step process which takes over six hours to complete.
